Short answer

Elite is a one-phase Futures evaluation that you can pass in as little as one trading day. Hit the profit target within an end-of-day trailing drawdown. Your contract limit stays the same from evaluation to funded. Once funded, you can request a payout 3 days after your first trade, from profit above your buffer, with a 90% profit split.

The evaluation

Profit target

Reach the profit target for your account size while following all the rules. There's no minimum number of days, so you can pass in one trading day. Your account then has a final review, and once approved you become a funded trader.

Daily loss limit

On $50K, $100K and $150K accounts, the daily loss limit is 2% of your starting balance. $25K accounts have no daily loss limit. If your balance or equity falls below the limit, all open trades are closed and the account is disabled for the rest of the day. This is a soft breach: trading unlocks at the 5:00 PM New York rollover.

Maximum trailing drawdown

Elite uses an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown. Your loss limit moves up only when you set a new highest end-of-day closing balance. It doesn't follow unrealised profit during the day, and it never moves down. Hitting it is a hard breach.

Evaluation: the limit keeps trailing for the whole evaluation.
Funded: the limit stops trailing once it reaches your starting balance + $100, and stays fixed from then on.

Account	End-of-day balance where trailing stops	Fixed loss limit
$25K	$26,100	$25,100
$50K	$52,100	$50,100
$100K	$103,600	$100,100
$150K	$155,100	$150,100

After any payout, your drawdown floor also locks at starting balance + $100.

Funded account

Contract limits

Elite has fixed contract limits. You keep the same maximum size in evaluation and funded, with no scaling.

Consistency rule (funded only)

Within a payout cycle, your best day can't be 40% or more of your total profit. Until it's below 40%, the payout button stays unavailable. Your account isn't breached; you just keep trading. Example: with a $2,000 best day, you need at least $5,000 total profit.

Payouts

When: 3 days after your first trade, once your balance is above your buffer and you meet the consistency rule.
Buffer: you can only withdraw profit above starting balance + buffer. Example: on $50K the buffer level is $52,100. With a balance of $54,000, you can withdraw $1,900, up to your cap.
Caps: the first payout has a lower cap, and every payout after that uses the higher cap (see table).
Profit split: 90%. Minimum: $500 by crypto or Rise.

Resets and reactivation

Evaluation reset

If you breach your evaluation, you can reset it for a fixed fee. Discounts and promotions don't change it.

Account	$25K	$50K	$100K	$150K
Reset fee	$104	$141	$223	$286
Funded reactivation fee	$450	$750	$900	$1,200

Funded reactivation

If your funded Elite account breaches before its first payout, you can reactivate it without repeating the evaluation. You can do this up to two times per account, within 30 calendar days of the breach. The account reopens at the start of the next trading session.

Other rules

News trading: allowed on evaluation and funded accounts. Expect slippage and wider spreads around high-impact news.
Stop losses: not mandatory, but every trade needs a defined risk. See Futures risk management rules.
Copy trading: only between accounts you legally own.
Microscalping: less than 50% of your profit may come from trades held under 10 seconds.
Fees: one-time purchase. No monthly or activation fees.
